I This invention relates tostripper: guides used in rewindi ng silli and hasfor object in thethread.is-properly to provide an improved construction where D same time properly cleaned.

Another object of the'invention is to provide an improved thread guide wherein the cleaning plate is so arranged thatit will not accidentally move out of its support. I

A further object of theinvention is to provide a thread guide wherein the cleaning plate and the holder therefor are so arranged that the plate may be cleaned from time to time without removal. v

In using silk threads, it is necessary to wind the same on spools or other supports and in doing so the thread is run through a guide which acts in the double capacity of a guide and cleaner for removing knots, ravelings and foreign matter. Uusu'ally the thread has been previously subjected to an oiling operation so that these dilferent materials may be removed without breaking the thread and by reason of the cleaning action, 7

the thread on the spool orother member will be properly sized and free of enlargements so that the cloth woven therefrom will likewise be free of objectionable enlargements.

Heretofore, guides in cleaning devices have been provided, as for instance, the construction shown in my prior Patent No. 1,526,954. As shown in my prior patent and also in other structures, a guide and cleaner is provided but when the cleaning plate s to be removed, as for instance, from my prior patent, the machine mustbe stopped and the 1 thread lifted and then the plate removed,

cleaned and returned. This must be done with all of the plates. This action results in a considerable loss 'of time by reason of the stoppage of the machine 'while one or more of the plates are cleaned. In the present invention, a guiding and cleaning plate has been provided where n the accumulated revelings and other mattermay be. removed uided and at the apertures or holes 10 and 11. opening 19 extends from the aperture 18 to 7 plate.

Iii-the accompanying drawing, 1 indicates a guiderail in which tlie thread guide 2 'is mounted: The thread guide 5 2 is provided from time totime without removing the witha cleaning plate 3 whichaots to clean from a suitable reel '5 which ispreferably comparatively large and after the thread haspassedthrough the guide, it is wound on a suitable spool 6. It is, of course, understood that the reel 5,spool 6 and also the rail 1 form no part of the present invention but have been shown to clearly illustrate thefunction of the various parts of the guide.

Preferably, the guideQ is made of vitreous material and is formed with a pair of notches 7 and 8 which merge into rounded upper part of the guide. In addition to thenotches 7 and 8, the guide is provided with aligned holes 10 and 11 and with a groove 12 at the top, said. groove being adapted to receive the usual springs which 'Yholdthe guide in place, on the rail 1.

In this way, accumulated foreign matter may be removed from the plate 3 at any time and if necessary, without stopping the machine. The machine maybe operated at a maximum speed without danger of the plate 3 jumping out of the guide as the plate is held by the shoulders 16 and 17.

That I claim is 1. A stripper guide comprising a body formed with socket having ofiset portions at one end whereby shoulders are formed on the body, and a stripping and guiding plate having members acting as shoulders co-acting with the first mentioned shoulders for preventing movement of said plate longitudinally of said socket in one direction.

2. A stripper guide comprising a body formed with a socket extending entirely through the body and substantially flaring at the bottom portion, ing plate mounted in said socket and formed with extensions, sai'd extensions engaging the body at the flaring portion whereby when the guide is' in use the plate cannot be removed.
